I love both middle names but not the first names. But ignore me!

I like Cormac but do you remember on "Glenroe" there was a little boy called Cormac but everyone called him "Cormie"?
I love Gabriel(thinking of Byrne!).
I think the accent on Chloe is a bit much (sorry)

Ha! I think about Gabriel Byrne a lot too

I could live with "Cormie"

Isabeau? But "beau" is the masculine, "belle" the feminine, so looks really odd to me.

You are right, but it is a valid girl's name - Queen Isabeau of Bavaria to name just one (of 5 lol)

i like Cormac. Good strong unusual name.

Chloe is a little datedsounded already to me. It peaked massively a few years ago. Not mad about Isabeau. Beau is masculine, I can't get over that.

Most Chloe's here are about 9/10 along with the Charlottes, I still like it though and most importantly you do so that's that.

Maybe it doesn't matter. A ten yr old Chloe would no doubt be Chloe B or Chloe J. But a Chloe born in 2009, would be more likely to be the only one in her class. Just to say something positive about it.

I quite like Clodagh and Clio.
